Electrocardiogram Features of Left Ventricular Excessive Trabeculation with Preserved Cardiac Function in Light of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Genetics.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Although left ventricular excessive trabeculation (LVET) can cause heart failure, arrhythmia and thromboembolism, limited literature is available on the ECG characteristics of primary LVET with preserved left ventricular function (EF). We aimed to compare the ECG characteristics and cardiac MR (CMR) parameters of LVET individuals with preserved left ventricular EF to a control (C) group, to identify sex-specific differences, and to compare the genetic subgroups of LVET with each other and with a C population. Methods: In our study, we selected 69 LVET individuals (EF > 50%) without any comorbidities and compared them to 69 sex- and age-matched control subjects (42% females in both groups, p = 1.000; mean age LVET-vs-C: 38 ± 14 vs. 38 ± 14 yea
